I hope this can become the official thread. wub;
Here, you can ask any questions you want about EV training, though I hope most will be answered further on in the post.
What are EVs? - EVs are basicly a way where you can make you're Pokemon stronger in certain areas. Every single Pokemon gives out EVs when you defeat them. The EVs they give out ussualy reflect the stat they are most dominant in. Every Pokemon gives out one, two, or three EVs.
Why are EVs important? - Well, every time you get 4 EVs, you get +1 bonus in a certain stat. For example, let's say you defeated 4 Starlys. Each Starly gives out 1 Speed EV, so when you level up, you will get +1 more in the speed category. This allows you to train Pokemon to make certain stats better.
Places to EV train:
Attack: Kricketunes and Bibarels [2 EVs] - Rainy Route of 112
Sp. Attack: Golduck [2 EVs] Surf Pond in Resort Area
Gastly [1 EV] The Old Chateau
Defense: Graveler [2 EVs] and Onix [1 EVs] - Iron Island
Sp. Defense: Mantyke [1 EV] and Tentacruel [2 EVs] - Shore above 8th Gym Badge
Speed: Fearow [2 EVs] and Raticate [2 EVs] - North of Battle Area
HP: Gastradons [2 EV HP] - Grassy area in front of Pal Park
2EVs? wut? I'm lost.

Yes, you can max out EVs. There is a maxium of 510 per Pokemon, and a max of 255 per stat.
Your EV math is correct though.
